I just read the text of the bill and in fairness to Toomey and Manchin, it does have some good stuff in it. It strengthened FOPA, allows intrastate handgun purchases and exempts familial transfers and those that aren’t for-profit (for want of a better way to put it). I was frankly expecting something much worse than this. I wonder if the House will add a CCW reciprocity provision.

You’re thanking these traitors for not watering down our civil rights more than they are. That’s like the Jews thanking the Nazis for the train ride.

Good stuff! Amazing how many naive, ignorant folks walking among us! Trust government….I’m sure they wouldn’t do anything to curtail our rights! Honestly!

Do I get this right? You will not be able to travel across a state line with a loaded gun. Concealed carry or not. Regardless of whether that state accepts your concealed carry permit. All guns must be locked away, unloaded and separate from the passenger compartment?

When the new Government state-border crossing stations are erected this will be a non issue, so settle down.

Just show the guard your papers and travel permit and everything will be fine. Man, you homophobes are so paranoid.

But, if it’s a reciprocal carry state, once I am actually across the line l can lock and load, right? How wide is a state line? 1 ft? 10 ft? Don’t want to put any border children in danger or anything… /s

SEC. 142. NATIONAL COMMISSION ON MASS VIOLENCE.
(a) Establishment of Commission.-There is established a commission to be known as the National Commission on Mass Violence (in this subtitle referred to as the “Commission”) to study the availability and nature of firearms, including the means of acquiring firearms, issues relating to mental health, and all positive and negative impacts of the availability and nature of firearms on incidents of mass violence or in preventing mass violence.
(b) Membership.-
(1) APPOINTMENTS.-The Commission shall be composed of 12 members, of whom-
(A) 6 members of the Commission shall be appointed by the Majority Leader of the Senate, in consultation with the Democratic leadership of the House of Representatives, 1 of whom shall serve as Chairman of the Commission; and
(B) 6 members of the Commission shall be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, in consultation with the Republican leadership of the Senate, 1 of whom shall serve as Vice Chairman of the Commission.
(2) PERSONS ELIGIBLE.-
(A) IN GENERAL.-The members appointed to the Commission shall include-
(i) well-known and respected individuals among their peers in their respective fields of expertise; and
(ii) not less than 1 non-elected individual from each of the following categories, who has expertise in the category, by both experience and training:
(I) Firearms.
(II) Mental health.
(III) School safety.
(IV) Mass media.

SEC. 141. SHORT TITLE.
This subtitle may be cited as the “National Commission on Mass Violence Act of 2013”.
SEC. 142. NATIONAL COMMISSION ON MASS VIOLENCE.

SEC. 143. DUTIES OF THE COMMISSION.
(a) Study.-
(1) IN GENERAL.-It shall be the duty of the Commission to conduct a comprehensive factual study of incidents of mass violence, including incidents of mass violence not involving firearms, in the context of the many acts of senseless mass violence that occur in the United States each year, in order to determine the root causes of such mass violence.

And lookie here! The Chairman will have dictatorial powers over the committee. Am I wrong on this?

(1) IN GENERAL.-The Chairman of the Commission may, without regard to the civil service laws and regulations, appoint and terminate an executive director and such other additional employees as may be necessary to enable the Commission to perform its duties.

And like the man says… what could possibly go wrong with a government committee charged with finding who is to blame for violence in America?

You’ll just have to ask your car-jacker to exercise some patience while you go about your business retrieving and then reloading your weapon.

Did you see a problem with this part JT?

hawkdriver on April 12, 2013 at 8:07 AM

Well.. at least they could insert an amendment making it a crime if a criminal/rapist/murder doesn’t wait until you retrieve and load your weapon.

Ed is totally right.

I am very glad that HotAir takes this stand. They are a classy site and have every right to remove comments from/ban people who call for violence against public officials. How is this even controversial? It’s like the most obvious no-brainer.

Something must be in the coffee I had this morning – I find myself
breaking my “no response” rule to you a second time!

I usually do not respond to your posts, finding them intellectually deficient for one thing. However, this time I will make an exception.

The “most obvious no-brainer” as you put it, would be for Hot Air to ban you and a few others who continuously post nonsense.

You know what they are doing here? They are attempting to turn America into New York, LA and Chicago!

one lone conservative from the national review against the joe and his lib talking heads on guns and background checks…

Why do smart conservative people even bother going on that show? I heard a clip from MJ the other day where a guy who knew about guns (I forget where he was from) tried to explain that Mika was absolutely clueless about what ammunition does. Mika was making .22 rounds into armor-piercing cop-killing RPGs. The guy politely tried to correct what they were saying but was essentially shut down by all the lefties eager to agree with Mika’s view.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck gets more respect on The View than any dissenter gets on MJ.
